Dark Seer- Ion Shell cast on an already affected unit will replace the old buff instead of stacking- Wall of Replica damage dealt when affecting an enemy hero increased from 125 to 150- Wall of Replica image damage increased from 60% to 70%

Dazzle- Removed the extra vision on Weave that remains for 12/18/24 seconds. It now only reveals for a couple of seconds during the cast effect.

Lone Druid- True Form movement speed decreased by 35- Hero movement speed increased by 10- True Form transformation time increased from 1.45 to 2 seconds- True Form armor increased by 2- Spirit Bear's leash range reduced from 1500 to 925- Spirit Bear no longer returns to Syllabear when he attacks out of leash range. Instead the bear will not attack

Pudge- Flesh Heap reworked, it no longer gains strength from creeps. Instead he gains strength (same values as before, 0.9/1.2/1.5/1.8) for any nearby (400 AOE) dying enemy hero. You still get the bonus if the unit dies outside of the aoe if you are the killer.

Rhasta- Scepter version of Mass Serpent Wards no longer increases ward count. Instead, the damage of the wards is increased to match previous damage output.

Techies- Remote mine now adds to your most recently placed mine to your selection panel as a secondary unit

Tidehunter- Kraken Shell reworked, instead of removing buffs in time intervals, buffs are now removed whenever 600 HP is lost from player based damage. The counter is reset whenever you don't take damage for 6 seconds.

Roughly the same during the early-midgame, but scales higher as the game progresses.

* Lots of ingame scoreboard improvements

- Removed excess information like game time since it is available above. Condensed some other space.- Added an allies only column for current gold.- Added an allies only column for ultimate cooldowns.- Hero levels are now shown- Scoreboard title now displays all player respawn times, grouped in allies and enemy sections, so you can easily see how long someone has to revive without expanding the board manually.

* Slightly increased the regen rate of barracks and towers when they are attacked without nearby creeps/corpses from 40 to 55

* Added a new test command "-killwards" to remove all observer and sentry wards on the map* Added a new Eyes in the Forest icon (46851)* Added a visual effect for Kraken Shell when buffs are removed* Added color change visual for Morphling's model based on the ratio of agility to strength* Added buyback message for observers* New replay data available
